First off, ลุง Sutatt and ป้า Annie are the pinnacle of Thai hospitality and kindness. They want to make sure that you enjoy their space and their city and will take extra time out of their day to make sure you feel at home.
The space itself is bright, airy, and clean. It’s tucked down an alley just off of a busy street. Sure, it’s right next to a freeway (though I wasn’t much bothered by the noise), but the location is phenomenal.
There’s no shortage of street food options, it’s close enough to Chinatown to walk or take a 15 minute bus ride, while also centrally located near Sathorn activities, the pier, and BTS.
I cannot actually articulate how much I love this location. The street that it’s tucked off of reminds me so much of Hong Kong. I love being able to duck out the door into a low-key alleyway, walk around the corner, then be spewed out onto a bustling street.
A must stay if you like the crossroads of Chinese-Thai culture.
Though there’s a fridge, a microwave, and a kettle in the room, the only real downside for me was lack of stovetop cooking— which Khun Annie said she’d be able to help accommodate when her restaurant isn’t under construction.
But that’s just because I like to cook a lot... I was easily able to find meals at the many nearby restaurants and vendors.
